In 1912 a new fashion house opened in Paris; Vionnet. The founder and designer Madeleine Vionnet became known for her bias cut dresses in greek style. She has been called "Queen of the bias cut"; and "the architect among dress makers" The 24th of February this year Matteo Marzotto, former General Manager and President of Valentino, announced that he had bought the fashion house. Exciting, it would be fantastic to see some Vionnet-dresses on the catwalk again!
